Several children were left giggling after a ‘disturbing find’ in Chippenham.
Schoolchildren making their way to Queen’s Crescent School discovered a dildo, an object shaped like an erect penis used for sexual stimulation, just off Hungerdown Lane.
The girthy six-inch sex toy was located on the grass alongside Southmead and opposite a footpath used by dozens of parents and children as a cut-through to the primary school.
“It looks like daddy’s willy”, a child exclaimed before being told off for shouting the remark by an embarrassed mother.
One parent, who didn’t wish to be named, said: “How strange is that – a dildo left in the middle of Hungerdown Lane. I’m guessing it was in someone’s bin and foxed moves it. Then again, I rarely see foxes around here.
“We do get a lot of teenagers up to no good so maybe they’ve been playing around with it.
“If it’s used it shouldn’t just be left lying around – it’s a health hazard. It’s pretty disturbing. I wouldn’t like to know how it got there to be honest.”
